Day trips from Melbourne
Sherbrooke Forest Walk -
Pack some food and head to Sherbrooke Forest. Be it cold or hot, it doesn't matter. it has BBQ facilities if sandwiches are not your thing. Taking in all the fresh air the forest has to offer, you may even feel compelled to visit one of the many mountain taverns and get a drink after the exploration.
